score!

i went to barnes and noble today at lunch. mindy and ron had gotten me a book for christmas that i already owned. i returned it last week, but didn't have time to shop around (note: i also found out that beginning in march, b&n will not accept returns more than 2 weeks past the date of purchase, even with receipt... going to make it hard to buy gifts there from now on). today i was able to browse for a bit. nothing was really catching my eye. i found a triathlon magazine that looked good, but still needed to spend about $6. i was getting discouraged, but then i saw it. a table with a sign that read: "limited time: games sale. everything with green dot sticker = $1." yeah. $1. and it wasn't total crap either. i got the shrek version of monopoly, a family guy version of uno, some game that involves a martini shaker, some chicago cubs dominoes in a cute tin lunchpail type box, and another game that i don't even remember what it is, but it looked like it might be interesting. insane sale. total luck. whoo-hoo, that made sitting in my cube on this gray monday with a looming winter storm warning tolerable. ;)
